Crime Reduction and Community Safety by Daniel Gilling

Crime Reduction and Community Safety by Daniel Gilling

This book analyses Labour's policies of local crime control from 1997 through to 2006. It unfolds Labour's 'third way' political project from the centre downwards, and exposes the limitations of this project through an exploration of a number of key themes.

'Daniel Gilling's text provides us with the definitive criminological analysis of New Labour's national project on community safety and crime prevention over the last decadeWritten in an authoritative yet accessible style, it will become a classic case study of the contradictions of this UK government's ambitious if flawed governmental experiment in local crime control. Gilling's careful and penetrating diagnosis of government rhetoric and policy is measured, provocative and ultimately profoundly disturbing. 'Must read' for students, teachers, researchers and, you'd hope, practitioners and policy makers in the UK and beyond.' - Professor Gordon Hughes, Cardiff University

Daniel Gilling is Associate Professor in Criminal Justice Studies at the University of Plymouth, UK.
